Patch

This issue came up as I was trying to play X4 Foundations on Linux. I have Dual ThrustMaster 16000M Joysticks. Only one of them appear in X4 Foundations. This patch renames any subsequent discovered joystick with an index. i.e. If the name is "Joystick", then the second discovered joystick name is "Joystick 2", then "Joystick 3" and so forth.

Furthermore, it changes the guid to make them all unique. Both these changes were necessary to make the 2nd joystick appear in X4. They now both operate perfectly within the game.

If this is still an issue, worth fixing in 2.0.16

The guid is supposed to be the same for all joysticks of a certain type. If X4 relies on them being different, that's a bug in X4.

I'd like to find a way to generalize the name de-duplication at a higher level so it works for all drivers.
